check the bed mesh, it’s probably not level and the probe can only compensate so much. you can print bed shims that will even it out to fix this, i did it on mine and the bed variance went from 1mm to .3mm with much cleaner first layers https://www.printables.com/model/681528-bed-shims-fits-creality

I have collectively 3000 hours on my 3 K2 Plus printers. I print everything from PLA to Nylon. The bed is the Achilles’ heel on these printers. I have one that has a 0.25 variance from the factory, the other 2 were bad, one was 1.2 and the other was I’ve 0.9. I tried a lot of things but finally I us

I got it about a month ago. I upgraded my K1 Max, upgrade went text book. Firmware upgraded correctly. I've re-installed the helper script (I'm a linux admin, so I could work around the issues it was having). I've got moonraker/mail sail installed but currently using creality print because it talks

Currently, I've been running a massive project: I've been printing The Castle of the Vampire Lord: a 7ft tall miniature playable reproduction of Castle Ravenloft in D&D. The thing is massive, so much so that I've been running 2 K1maxs around the clock for the past few months. The only thing I'm real

This is a mechanical issue, i had this issue with a Creality machine, it ended up being something to do with the vibration compensation and when you're printing too slow... very very weird but it does add up when I think back to my ender days with the sonic pad. When we went too slow eith the vibrat

OP - Astronomer has sent you on the right path. I have a K1Max (which came with the hardened 300C nozzle) and I used the built in PA6-CF setting in Creality Print and it printed flawlessly and I had the top glass off. My bed temp was 50c and Nozzle temp 290C and I dried the Filament at 65C overnight

That’s a wild take. I own 27 printers split between Creality K1/K2+/sarmoons & K1max, Bambu H2Cs + one snapmaker U1. My oldest printers from Creality have over 12k hrs. Average for my K series is about 5000hrs, Bambu has the same hrs as the K series & the snapmaker has less than 100hrs since we just

That is a great release, Rocky finally getting a proper printable model is awesome. Should come out really clean on something like the Creality K1 Max if you dial in layer height and supports. Definitely a fun print for fans.
